And that's because... I'm gay? Or because I produce a product used legally by the majority of the people in the country?

Because I'm married to a foreigner?

Have dogs?

Why do you feel morally superior to me, ariel?

I'm not sure what the quote has to do with the shutdown , or who is the determiner of what is unjust but from the FB posting , it takes a real fucking douchebag to be so central to the shutdown decision to then show up decrying that very shutdown.
This does bring to mind a question , though , since all of Cruz's actions are clearly designed to set the stage for a failed Pres run, can he be deemed a natural born citizen? Being born out of country to mixed nationality parentage?

Canadian by birth place. American by Mother and also Cuban by Father?

from wiki
Selection process
George Washington, the first President of the United States
Eligibility
Main article: Age of candidacy

Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution sets the requirements to hold office. A president must:

be a natural-born citizen of the United States;[note 1]
be at least thirty-five years old;
have been a permanent resident in the United States for at least fourteen years.

A person who meets the above qualifications is still disqualified from holding the office of president under any of the following conditions:

Under the Twenty-second Amendment, no person can be elected president more than twice. The amendment also specifies that if any eligible person who serves as president or acting president for more than two years of a term for which some other eligible person was elected president, the former can only be elected president once. Scholars disagree whether anyone no longer eligible to be elected president could be elected vice president, pursuant to the qualifications set out under the Twelfth Amendment.[68]
Under Article I, Section 3, Clause 7, upon conviction in impeachment cases, the Senate has the option of disqualifying convicted individuals from holding other federal offices, including the presidency.[69]
Under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment, no person who swore an oath to support the Constitution, and later rebelled against the United States, can become president. However, this disqualification can be lifted by a two-thirds vote of each house of Congress.



Leaves open his eligibilty. Whats been said of his father is the he was a cuban immigrant. No mention that I've found of Dad citizenship status either US or Cuban.

If Obama can be President anyone can.....no one gets vetted anymore.....

Can you please elaborate on this one for me, I'm confused. Obama was born in the US, which therefore qualifies him to be president....

Genuinely not sure what you meant, hence the question.

The trucker thing didn't really happen so they had to use pictures taken a couple years ago and pretend it was their own demonstration. Much like that motorcycle ride on Washington that didn't happen but posted lots of pictures taken over the previous 3-4 years.



As far as the Vets thing... the people who organized it have decried the swine-like Sarah Palin, the sleze Ted Cruz and the downright racist pigs of the Tea Terrorists who hijacked a non-political event and tried to turn it into a violent demonstration.

According to a message on their website (http://1mvetmarch.wordpress.com/), the problem began when a local DC organizer turned the march into a tea party rally, “The political agenda put forth by a local organizer in Washington DC was not in alignment with our message. We feel disheartened that some would seek to hijack the narrative for political gain. The core principle is about all Americans honoring Veterans in a peaceful and apolitical manner.”

While I'm sure it gives you warm fuzzies to rant about "disobeying an unjust law," maybe they should be more worried about the "Moral responsibility" to not exploit the war vets?


If any of the Tea terrorists gave two shits about the vets, they wouldn't be taking away their health care, their food stamps, their mental health care, sending them into war without proper protection, exploiting them for photo ops and wheeling them in front of cameras every chance they got.

Taking Moral advise from you seems ....well funny as hell!!!

Why you keep posting garbage on here blows my mind. And posting anything "moral" from you is complete bullshit. All you post is hate and lies. I'm surprised no one from your click reaches out to you and tells you how foolish your posts sounds......or maybe you have no one in your click. Or maybe insulting people that are different from you is your thing. Go ahead Areil, keep on embarrassing yourself with this garbage. And keep showing us how low you'll go.

unsung

I'm amazed that no matter how smart some of you are you are so easily fooled by the media. The TEA Party no longer exists, at least not in the original form.

Ok a question. How long do people get to stay on govt assistance? Food stamps/unemployment are supposed to be temporary aids, not a permanent crutch. How do we continue to find them?

Some of these politicians were elected to cut spending, just like with obamacare the people have spoken.
